Abstract: Combining Doppler and polarimetric information is advantageous for atmospheric studies. On the one hand, Doppler information gives insight into the microphysical and dynamic properties of radar targets, that is, radial ...

Abstract: Dual-polarization radar observations of precipitation depend on size?shape relations of raindrops. There are several studies presented in literature dedicated to the investigation of this relation. In this work a new ...

Abstract: In this study, a dual-polarization spectral analysis for retrieval of microphysical properties of ice hydrometeors is developed. It is shown that, by using simultaneous Doppler polarimetric observations taken at a 45° ...

Abstract: easured ice crystal concentrations in natural clouds at modest supercooling (temperature ~>?10°C) are often orders of magnitude greater than the number concentration of primary ice nucleating particles. Therefore, it has ...
